You'd think that fat kids would've gotten stuck on those narrow slides, but I don't remember there being that many fat kids back then.

Friend,

May I refer you to TulaneLSU’s Top 10 Parks and Playgrounds in New Orleans. I quite enjoy Mr. Ham’s photos.

Yours,
TulaneLSU

North Park in Denham Springs had great slides and swings. They seemed really big when I was a kid.

We had that structure in The second pic in South City Park in Opelousas when I was growing up. Loved that damn thing.

Wildwood Elementary in the 70s/80s had some medieval shite. Even the one for the youngest kids was a gauntlet of rusted metal w remnants of lead paint.

Ah yes. That feeling of bare skin roasting across 12 feet of 200 degree metal.

Fellow Shreveport peeps all remember the rocket at Betty Virginia Park. Reaching the top was rite of passage as a child.
